Dynamic naming of Variables

[Anon]

I am trying to name variables in the following way:

$new = "foo";
$$new_bar = "twinkie"

so that a variable called $foo_bar is created, having the value of "twinkie".

Little help please?

[Anon]

$new = "foo";
${$new_bar} = " twinkie";

Thanks, Kai.

It actually didn't work in the way you described, but it did work this way:

$new = "foo";
${$new."_bar"} = "twinkie";

I never would have gotten it without your help.
